Heroes Work Here is Disneys initiative to hire, train, and support returning veterans. Disney Institute will support the initiative with presentations of custom-built leadership, customer experience, and employee selection, training, and engagement content designed to further the unique needs of veterans in the workplace.

Since launching Heroes Work Here, The Walt Disney Company has surpassed its original goal of hiring more than 1,000 veterans by 2015.

"Our Heroes Work Here program not only helps us find and hire highly qualified veterans, it also supports veterans and their families as they transition out of the military," said Bob Iger, Chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company. "Were happy to share what weve learned with other organizations so that more of these modern-day heroes have the tools and opportunities to build meaningful careers in the private sector."
